Did I ever send you my snail mail addy? If not it should be on the return addy labels on the box.

As you may have noticed, I've been rather quiet. I posted elsewhere about my visual difficulties of late and cataracts are the main culprit. Just went to the eye doc for new specs and they will be stronger yet but hopefully will give me time to either get on Medicare or save up for the surgery-whichever comes 1st Our current Affordable Care Act insurance just sucks. Anyway, I will be popping in and out on occasion and hope I don't get too far behind on my fav fics, nor take forever to finish ,my latest.

An update: I went to my retinal specialist a week ago, and he said the cataracts have worsened. He then had my appt with my glaucoma/Cataract doc changed to a Cat Evaluation Nov 5th. I should know then if and when surgery will be. I dream of better vision but I'd be happy just to be able to read and write for any length of time, and drive without freaking out. So for now I wait. . .

Just a note! Cataract and glaucoma surgery in January! Successful but was n adjustment on many fronts! The amazing thing is how BAD my vision became. The world looked like someone put a yellow filter over my eyes and then blurred them up and put fog in there as well. But the new implants got rid of all that and the coke bottle glasses are gone forever!! Never in my wildest hopes and dreams did I ever think to see that day! Just too bad it has to happen in my senior years! But hey, better now than never. 1st pair of new specs are great for distance but the close up progressive bifocal has to be adjusted and those new specs are finally ready. With luck I may be back here more often, and maybe even participate in things again. But it is fishing and gardening season and with Hubby retired now, its a bit harder to spend the time I used to here, but I sure still love this place!

Its been a busy few years since the cataract surgery. Its scary that I say YEARS! Sheesh. Doing well on that front but my glaucoma in the right eye, tho relatively stable, did worsen after that. Still working on RISING STARS, but also decided to consolidate all my NEW BLOOD fics into a big Word doc file and make a printed copy for myself. I figure if I start this, by time I get it all formatted properly I will have RISING STARS done. Though this is not a project I can ever sell for obvious reasons, the resultant print copy will look professional if I can help it. If this site ever goes down all I will have are the stories in WordPerfect, and no allegiances, or other tidbuts like this post. So time to do it before I get too old to finish it! Hope you all are doing well. I hope to catch up on some reading as I see some new fics out there!
